Head Circumference Standards in Neonates

Journal of Child Neurology, 1994
Head circumference at birth is an important measure of intrauterine growth, reflecting accurately brain growth and predicting subsequent development. Standards need to reflect the population and the factors that affect intrauterine growth in the population and must be constructed in a manner that is clinically useful and predictive. Many of the present

Alzheimer's disease and head circumference

Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, 2006
Objective: Larger brains may contain more neurons and synaptic connections, providing a greater reserve against cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Larger head circumference (HC) may therefore be associated with later detection and diagnosis of AD.

Prediction of Malnutrition by the Ratio of the Head Circumference to the Chest Circumference

Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 1993
This study was carried out in West Bengal, amongst 127 rural children aged 1-5 years. It was found that the ratio of the head circumference to the chest circumference (H:C ratio) was valuable in predicting malnutrition. An increase in the ratio occurred 2-3 months before a drop in weight was noted; a decrease in the ratio was followed 2-3 months later ...

Head Circumference in Young Children With Autism

Journal of Child Neurology, 2013
The hypothesis that the presence of macrocephaly might vary with the specific growth chart used was tested by using the Nellahus, CDC, and recent Rollins et al revision head circumference charts to plot the head circumferences of 253 children with neurodevelopmental disorders and with ages between 12 to 36 months; of these children, 59 had a diagnosis ...

Head circumference/abdominal circumference ratio, ponderal index and fetal malnutrition. Should head circumference/abdominal circumference ratio be abandoned?

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1991
Summary. Head circumference/abdominal circumference (HC/AC) ratios of the fetus are accepted as a means of distinguishing different patterns of growth retardation with a high ratio implying malnutrition of the fetus. Ponderal index (birthweight/length3) is used by paediatricians as a measure of neonatal wasting and would therefore be expected to ...

Age at which chest circumference overtakes head circumference in children

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1995
Maximum likelihood method with probit transformation was applied to estimate median age at which chest circumference (CC) overtook head circumference (HC) in 1206 children from rural areas of Ballabhgarh in Haryana and in 1505 children from a slum population in Delhi.

Head Circumference Standards for Irish Children

Acta Paediatrica, 1990
Abstract. A cross‐sectional study measuring head circumference was performed on 3344 Irish Children aged from 5 to 19 years. Comparison with other countries showed a slightly larger head circumference than the 1965 British standards produced by Tanner, but significantly smaller than the Ounsted data from Oxford.

Head Circumference in Children with Idiopathic Hypopituitarism

Pediatrics, 1968
We continue to agree with Dr. Nellhaus1 concerning the clinical value of the measurement of head circumference in children. Since publication of the paper by O'Connell and colleagues2 the opportunity has presented at the Mayo Clinic to study in detail a group of 15 children with idiopathic hypopituitary dwarfism.

Head Circumference Measurements in Children With Autism

Journal of Child Neurology, 1996
To assess head circumference in children with autism, 148 charts were retrospectively reviewed. All of the children met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual ofmental Disorders (DSM-III or DSM-III-R) criteria for autism and had no known underlying condition that might affect head circumference. In addition, data were collected regarding height, weight,
